Estimates of per capita sea urchin grazing rates on Clathromorphum nereostratum, evaluated as a function of sea urchin size. Assays were performed under ambient conditions in a controlled mesocosm setting, using the urchin Strongylocentrotus polyacanthus.

A global, myosin light chain kinase-dependent increase in myosin II contractility accompanies the metaphase–anaphase transition in sea urchin eggs
(American Society for Cell Biology, 2006-07-12)Myosin II is the force-generating motor for cytokinesis, and although it is accepted that myosin contractility is greatest at the cell equator, the temporal and spatial cues that direct equatorial contractility are not ... -
Calyculin-A induces cleavage in a random plane in unfertilized sea urchin eggs
(Marine Biological Laboratory, 2009-02)Calyculin-A (CLA), a protein phosphatase inhibitor, has been known to induce cleavage resembling normal furrowing in unfertilized sea urchin eggs. In CLA-treated eggs, actin filaments and myosin assemble to form a contractile ... -
